If 3M b/d of Saudi crude still needs to be redirected east, that could tie up 36–40 additional VLCCs. If Gulf of Oman STS hits its ceiling and cargoes shift to Malaysia, that number could reach 58 VLCCs.
Even with VLCC resale prices reaching record prices, Sinokor still wants more and is looking for 15-17 year old vessels to add to its ever growing VLCC fleet.

A 2008-built VLCC reportedly just fetched ~$90M.
That compares with ~$51M for a 2007-built DHT EUROPE in January.
And a 2010-built KALLISTA reportedly reached ~$132M in September vs ~$89M for a 2012-built VLCC in February.
Same asset class. Wildly different market.
Saudi Aramco is offering up to 20mn bbl of Gulf crude to Asia-Pacific buyers for Sep-Nov, including Arab Light, via STS transfers in the Gulf of Oman or delivered cargoes. That follows ~56mn bbl already sold since the 7mn b/d East-West pipeline shutdown.

The tanker boom is structural, not cyclical.
Trafigura's shipping head confirms a "paradigm shift": Middle Eastern producers are buying their own VLCCs to control exports, putting a structural floor under earnings & asset values .
VLCC spot rates >$1M/day on Gulf-Asia routes and $20bn in new orders signal this isn't a bubble — it's a new world led by VLCCs .

Selling $fro seems smart today🤣 Front Morgan fixed at $861k×49 days = 42 189 000 dollar - cash breakeven 1 200 000 dollar. Earning 41 000 000 in pure profitt!! That is 0,186$ in EPS added for the q4 div!! If this keeps on we will see over 4$ div for q4!! @AndersSjastad

Nucor's #HRC spot price rose to $1,210/short ton, up $10 week-on-week, marking the ninth consecutive weekly increase. The sustained momentum reflects tight domestic supply conditions, with delivery lead times of 3-5 weeks and buyers reporting difficulty sourcing spot tons. US plate spot prices rose to $1,370/short ton, up 2.4% week-on-week, driven by maintenance schedules at major mills and delayed Indian JSW shipments.

Brazil's anti-dumping final ruling on Chinese hot-rolled coil is expected to land soon, with the investigation examining alleged dumping margins. The ruling will determine trade flows into Latin America's largest steel market. Meanwhile, the EU's HRC ex-works price for Northwest Europe reached $857/tonne, widening the spread against Asian CFR prices to a year-to-date high of $570/tonne.

Norway is pumping more oil than expected.
August output hit 1.882M b/d, beating forecast by 79K b/d and rising 5.5% m/m. YTD production is now 4.6% above forecast. More Atlantic Basin barrels could mean more Aframax/Suezmax cargoes, especially if exports rise.
$CMBT is rumored to be selling 4 VLCC newbuildings for $1B ($250M per ship). That’s $50M above the last observed deal at ~$200M. If true, it would imply a ~25% jump in VLCC values.
